Using a selection of key experiments performed over the past 30 years or so, we present a discussion of the strikingly counter-intuitive phenomena of the quantum world that defy explanation in terms of everyday "e;common sense"e; reasoning, and we provide the corresponding quantum mechanical explanations with a very elementary use of associated formalism.
